    Slow Burn - completely opposite to Insanity

    Have read the book quite a while back while I was struggling with my weight gain. It is a good read. It is not a book telling you how and what to exercise but it give you the mental approach to sustaining your goals to exercise. Now that you bring it up here, I want to borrow from my library...

    Eat Right for Your Blood Type

    Have to add that not all fruits and vegetables are good for everyone. Athough this I have found out from the blood type diet also, we have tested it on ourselves and found it to be true. Mangoes and oranges are avoid food for me. One year I took a jug of orange juice made from fresh oranges...

    Eat Right for Your Blood Type

    I was as skeptical as anyone when I first come across blood type diet but after experimenting it for a few years together with my colleagues, we came to the conclusion that there are lots of truth in it. It is not a diet for weight loss per se. There are many food one has to avoid but we have...

    Stripping and sanding down a kettlebell handle

    Has anyone any experience in stripping and sanding down a kettlebell handle? Was told that it is best to do that if we want to do lots of snatches. However, I have no idea how to go about it. Hope someone can share their knowledge with me. Thank you

    Shipping Update - 1-27-09

    This is the first time I ever preordered something and I never know there would be so much anticipation and excitement just waiting for my order to be delivered to me. Like Chiara, we are so far away and the waiting is really killing. Such excitement and now with the descriptions given by...

    Herbalife Meal Plan

    I am one who have tried it and believe me, I put back more than I lose when I stop taking it. There were some controversy about the ingredients used in Herballife and also liver and kidney disorders or something like that resulting from long time usage. If you google it, you will find those...

    question about shipping method - SNM

    You can look at your invoice amount for shipping. If I remember correctly, the shipping cost has already been factored in when you place the order. Thus it can't be USPS shipping if that is the case.

    Hard versus Soft Style for Kettlebell Lifting

    Hi Gayle, you are welcomed. I have both Steve Cotter and Scott Sonnon foundation dvds and I do notice that there were something not quite the same in the style but could not tell what it was about. Steve Cotter teaches the hard style in his encyclopedia of kettlebell lifting while Sonnon...

    Hard versus Soft Style for Kettlebell Lifting

    Someone once posted a question on why Scott Sonnon in his Foundation of Kettlebell Dvd did his swing with his head following his swing i.e looking down through his leg which is a no no in kettlebell lifting. Now I understand what is the difference. One is using a hard style while the other is...

    Intermittent Fasting Goes Mainstream

    It is amazing isn't it. I get that same feeling too doing Eat Stop Eat. I have found it very hard to go on a diet or anything to do with diet but Eat Stop Eat is so easy to follow. You don't get the sense that you are on a diet but rather like an achievement of doing something nice when you...

    Any luck microwaving Steel Cut Oats?

    Same here too, I don't cook my oats anymore. I just pour milk and add some choc tasting protein shake in and leave it overnight in the fridge and eat it the next morning. Yummy.

    Is less really more? KB WO length

    I do kettlebell workout several times a week. Last week I did Gym Style Legs (only 3/4 way through) and the next day, I have doms in my legs. I guess we still need to incorporate other strength workout into kettlebell workout too especially for lower body. Btw, I am contemplating on getting...

    Fasting

    Eat Stop Eat is really a doable fast. Really easy to pick up. The only problem i had was to do a breakfast to breakfast fast. Found it easier to do a lunch to lunch or dinner to dinner fast. The book is really very simple to understand but it makes sense to read it first before going into...

    Crikes! Those KBs can be slippery!

    Wow, you ladies are strong. Using the 8Kg, I could only do 3/4 of the exercises in Providence. With a 12Kg, I can only do the swings but not those overhead cleans.
